Hi folks !
== modded APP for FM radio on the defy ==
The FM radio of the Defy, only work with the "ConnectedMusicPlayer"...
There's not a single FM app on the market.
AFAIK that's because of the lack of API. or closed source of motorola's API.
based on excellent droid2 radio hack by "slayher".
this app from slayher works out-of-the-box.
The added-value of my version is that it will work even in flight-mode, and without headset.
of course, expect crappy reception without headset . put a metal wire or some stuff on the jack !
And I don't understand why FM is disallowed in flight mode, when WiFi is allowed ... that beats me ....
the new app is modded with apktool, signed with "Auto-sign" from "Dave Da illest" so i bet it is not official signing
should work on other moto/FM phones too.
yip
XDA is awesone ! can't have done anything w/o the hackers here !
no warranty, this app could damage your phone and (more probably) bug because I'm not a skilled hacker and made a dirty hack.
Reciving without antenna quality is really bad. Catches signal almost only "from hands".
yep, it is bad, but if you stick some metal stuff on the jack it is way better.
Also you can turn the phone around, the position of phone is important for receiving quality, especially without antenna.
I did this because in rare occasions, I would have like to listen radio ( forgot the headset ) and could have managed a home-made antenna, or I was in a area with good reception.
I hate it when you know it should work, but the limit is the software.
the "flight'mode" feature is perhaps more useful. that was a nonsense to prevent it. FM is a receiver-only...
Does not work for me. Still wants the headset plugged in, either it doesnt start
Edit:
After rebooting it is working.
So, thank you for sharing
U should delete original app/apk first, seems like this one was not installed.
Hi,
How do I delete the original apk?
I have android 2.2.1 3.4.2-145
I'm new in andoroid.
thanks
2.2 ? I don't know if it will work. it has been tested on 2.1 only I think.
fedorfl is right, seems like the new app is not installed.
What is your original app ? do you have a defy with ConnectedMusicPlayer or something else?
You might want to backup your original apps somewhere first. These are not available on the market, and not easy to get on internet.
After reboot, works well.
Thanks.

Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
thank you .
am on 2.2.1
and never worked without the hedset at allllllllll
no sound or anything..till i plug it in
and my house is 500m away fromthe Radio station. still did not work
thanks...
Just one thing left to be done
Hi yipyipyip,
Thanks a lot for your modified version! I like very much the fact that the wired headset is not required anymore. Mainly because if the USB cable is attatched (usual way to have your phone charged whilst listening to FM radio for hours), it is enough to have strong stations sinthonized.
The only thing I miss now is: whenever an A2DP connection is found to be active, all current sound souces (MP3s, notifications, etc.) are routed to it. Would it be possible to have the same behaviour implemented here? I mean, if either the sound is currently being sent to the speakerphone, or through a new button, dedicated to bluetooth headsets, perhaps?
Thanks, anyway.
Regards,
Carlos
Hi,
Really thanks for this app.
the only thing is that ir seems I'm the one who has the app to close (hide and sometimes crash) when I edit one channel's name. And from that time on I can't use that channel anymore.
Do you have the same issues? Can you help me?
Thank you, bye!

flight mode
Great app, thx
But it doesn't work in flight mode
Just found this thread & thought I'd give it a go - works fine on froyo 2.2.2 on the Nordic 3.4.2-177 ROM.
I needed the headset in to get a signal but picked up the stations easily & sound works fine in loudspeaker mode.
Thanks
Can not install on my cm7 beta 6.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
is there any way to change the frequencyrange of the app?
there are some stations i'd loke to listen to wich are not covered by the original app :-/
something like a world receiver??
or is it possible to modify the program itself??
tnx
does this work with latest cm7 ?
Hello friends.
Here I present to you an app that can enable Radio Data System (RDS) which is absent in the MIUI Radio app included in Cyanogenmod7.
Spirit FM Unlocked
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock&hl=en
Plus it has a beautiful interface allowing you to bookmark as many FM stations as you can.
However it is unable to route audio from the phone speakers just like the MIUI FM app in CM7.
If this post has helped you please hit the Thanks button
Thank you!
My galaxy android phone with OS cm11 is stuck in headset/headphone mode(but only for music applications). Calls incoming/ringtones are played from the speaker. The problem is the phone doesn't play music/video files from the phone speaker, it plays from the headset instead. This particular problem arised after trying to test the Spirit UI FM.After providing the superuser permission, the application crashed( in cm11 ) and after that only headset mode .
I have been using SoundAbout for now to fix it. But I want to the OS fixed/patched in itself(not depending the soundabout app). I have tried rebooting/firmware reset/downgrading to cm7. But none of them are working. Thanks in advance.
U must try an app on play named HTC HEADPHONE FIX, made by HTC, but works on other devices too
I fixed my Samsung Galaxy Core 2 with that same thing
U must give it a try and then tell me it worked or not
Hi, I am pretty fresh user of PACMAN, I found out that FM radio is in fact the only feature that is unpresent in PACMAN and other CM based ROMs. Can you please explain me why that happened and what is the reason?
Thanks
From what I understand, FM radio itself is working but audio routing is somewhat broken.
Can u pls explain what did u mean by "audio routing"?
There is no application for FM Radio in recent builds. Is it possible to make it working?

How to get FM radio in kitkat? Is that your question?
Answer:Buy a new phone which has FM radio. You must know that Sony has long given up support for your current device and so proprietary things like FM radio will never work in these unsupported upgrades.

Nope. See here: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues/155
"Audio routing" is something like the link between FM radio (hardware) and Alsa (software, which is the linux sound system)

Thanks for advice, got Xperia Z3 compact.
It wasn't a question, was only my curiosity as I recently started to play with custom roms and couldn't find answer to my question.

That escalated quickly. Have fun with your phone :cyclops:
Backport from newer models?
Ok, this problem an old "bug", but cannot anyone port FM radio module (and other missing features) source from newer Sony models to older phones? From Z series to older Xperias?
I'm reaching out to signal a problem regarding the FM radio app on Xperia XA2. The AF (Alternative Frequency) function implemented into the app is constantly searching for a stronger signal for the tuned station and pauses the reception during these attempts. Because the tuner sensitivity is pretty low and therefore the reception quality not so great, these pauses occur very often, especially on the move. Most of the times AF can't even find a better signal and the tuner reverts back to the initial frequency, but the process restarts moments later. This is interrupting the reception to the point the radio becomes almost unusable.
Could someone please modify the source code of the FM radio apk in order to disable the AF function?
My phone’s model is H4113, running on latest stock ROM (Android 9) and rooted with Magisk. If someone figures it out, please upload the updated apk or highlight the modifications that have to be operated in the code.
Thank you in advance.
So I found this video on youtube (Sony Xperia XA2 Review & Impressions - Using LineageOS 16) which shows a different FM radio app on a phone running LineageOS vs the app in the stock ROM. To anyone running this custom ROM, do you experience the same issue with FM radio? If not, please upload the apk here, maybe it'll work on the stock ROM too (at least it's worth a try).
